This is me, doing a happy dance…

Okay, that’s not me….but that’s what I’m doing right now.

Why?

Because our Random House rep just came by for her quarterly visit (a day that is always hotly anticipated because it portends of ARCs and lots and lots of free books), and she brought me an ARC of this:

Go ahead. Be jealous. I won’t tell.

Now, do you think anyone will notice if I go home for lunch and don’t come back?

    I just picked up a copy of The Shadow of the Wind at the used bookstore the other day. Tell me it’s wonderful! It must be if you are so excited about his new book!

    Just left you a award on my blog just for you.
    I am envious of your new ARC. Some people have all the luck.

    Yes, I’m jealous!

    And that’s really funny. My husband’s voice mail, after inviting people to leave a message, wishes them a day that’s full of Snoopy Dog Dancing. :)

    Lucky you! I still need to read Shadow of the Wind.

    I just ordered Shadow of the Wind last weekend, so I can’t officially be jealous until I’ve started reading that book. I’m even more excited because you’re doing your happy dance about his next book.

    Oh my goodness, I am beyond GREEN with envy. You lucky, lucky thing!!! I can’t wait to hear what you think of that one. I ADORED Shadow of the Wind!

    Ooooohhh! Lucky duck!

    Oooh, I’ve been wanting so bad to read that! I actually have that book on my Chunkster Challenge list. (I’ve been trying to narrow my blog’s focus to more international literature and finding titles can be difficult.)

    Shadow of the Wind was such a great and unusual and memorable book, will be anxious to read your review on this new one. Hurry, read…

    Wow, I’m hoping I get this one!

  12. Jenn on March 17th, 2009 7:41 pm

    I’m only just getting caught up on my feed reader after being several weeks behind, but I am so jealous. *quietly lusts after new book*

    I can’t wait until June.
